House move and legacy product

Hi,

I recently moved house and my fibre connection (activation date is 5/1/17). I was previously on the 55/10 product since August 2016.

Before I moved I called customer services about a house move and whether I would get to keep my existing product. I was told that I would only be able to get one of the current products and I would not be able to transfer the 55/10.

I was also told that the easiest way of doing the move would be to open a new account for my new address and close the account at the old address.

I did as was suggested on the assumption that the legacy 55/10 product could not be transferred my new address and chose the 40/2 product.

However from reading other posts in this forum it appears that the 55/10 could have been transferred, can you confirm if this is the case?

Thanks

rk508

Hello @rk508

 

Sorry to hear your service has been downgraded to 40/2 since your house move. I've opened your account that linked to your forum details, however, this is a brand new account signed up online.

 

Do you have another account/can you private message me with your Account Username?

Re: House move and legacy product

Thanks for your PM, I'll be back in touch by the close of day.

 

And I'm back. Thanks for your patience @rk508

 

For openness, I'll reply to your private message here.

 

I've listened to your calls with our CS advisers. To clarify, signing a new account online or moving your service to a new property would take you off the 55/10 package as you'd be agreeing to the package we offer at the time.

 

As a gesture of goodwill I'll be happy to modify your service back up to 55/10 once your fibre order completes on the 4th January.

 

(FYI it also probably would have been the same lead time had we proceeded as a house move instead, as an engineer would still be required to perform work at the cabinet on your new line.)


Something I've noticed is that when your previous account was closed, a refund to cover your overcharges wasn't issued. I've raised a ticket to our Billing team to arrange for a cheque refund to be sent out. Apologies for that.

No problem.

It's this type of excellent response and that which I recently received from HarryB on this forum that keeps me a customer of PN.

Re: House move and legacy product

Hi Anoush

Thanks for placing the modify order. I noticed that since Friday my router is showing a data rate of 55/10 (screen shot below) which I am guessing is the sync speed. However my download and upload speeds have not changed and remain at 40/2. I have tried both wired and wireless connections as well as restarting the router.

Is there some other change that needs to be made?

Thanks

Re: House move and legacy product

I'm testing your broadband and it's banded at 40/2 Sad

 

Profile Name 0.128M-40M Downstream, Error Protection Off - 0.128M-2M Upstream, Error Protection Off

 

This will require an engineer to reset the line. If you raise this to us at http://faults.plus.net and let me know afterwards I'll progress the fault.
